“It was Mandy who approached me and offered me a large sum of money to put you on the spot!” Kyla said hastily.
“It was really her.” Hazel thought and squinted her eyes. She had suspected Mandy when her professor told her that he had been threatened. When she actually heard that it was Mandy, though, her heart filled with different emotions.
“Did you know my pumpkin had an ongoing feud with that woman? Maybe you are using her as a shield?” Simon asked with a smirk.
“What I am saying is true! Hazel has a special relationship with Joshua, after all….”
After looking at Simon in horror, Kyla changed the subject and continued, “I wouldn’t dare to offend Hazel, so when Mandy’s people found me, I refused a
“I just invited you to watch the drama.” Simon crossed his arms and motioned for her to keep watching.As Hazel peeked through the window, she saw that the cloth used to cover Mandy’s eyes was removed.“What, what are you doing? Who asked you to bring me here? Do you know who I am? How dare you kidnap me…” Mandy suddenly stopped as if she remembered something. The terror on her face turned to anger. “Are you working for Hazel? She wants to murder me?”“Are you the daughter of the Denmark family?” One of the men asked.“Of course, I am!” she said fiercely. “I’m the real one. Hazel is an impostor!”“Then I found the right person!&rd
“I don’t want to see that.” Hazel frowned, a little unhappy.“Pumpkin, touch the bruise on your head. You remember how she bullied you, don’t you?” Simon smiled coldly. “She’s just getting what she deserves. You should be relieved after seeing this.”“I am not sick and twisted, how can I feel relieved to see a group of men bullying a woman?” She said coldly, “Besides, it’s my business. I’ll handle it myself.”“But I am sick and twisted. I like to see those who bully you pay for what they did.” His face wore an evil smile. “Pumpkin, you’d better keep watching. Or are you trying to escape reality again?”She looked even colder, she knew Simon was right, s
“Wait! Joshua, you can’t leave me here alone!” Mandy looked very frightened. She didn’t know who would show up at the abandoned warehouse and wondered if the masked men would return.Mandy knew if Joshua left her alone, she would be in danger. She could see that Joshua was ignoring her, and when his men started to leave, she was panic-stricken.She cried hastily. “Please, arrange for two people to take me home, I really can’t do it alone.”Joshua waved a little impatiently, and two bodyguards put Mandy directly into one of the cars. Before leaving, she looked in Joshua’s direction with some reluctance, but Joshua didn’t look at her at all. The next moment, the car sped away.Outside the warehouse, Joshua had a scowl o
“Didn’t you put Mandy and me in the same place just so that I would think that Joshua was there to save her instead of me?” Hazel asked with a deep tone. “How stupid do you think I am?”“So, you didn’t say that before, so I wouldn’t get upset?” Simon was lost in thought.“Of course!” she said without hesitation.He smiled instead of getting angry. “Pumpkin, you look pretty cute when you fool yourself. All right, you can go home with him as long as you remember to come to me. If you regret it in the future, my door will always be open for you.”“That will never happen, so you can give up on it now,” she said simply.After that, she ran ov
Hazel couldn’t believe that they were standing at the gate waiting for Joshua to arrive home.The kidnappers showed Mandy no mercy when they decided that she was Denmark’s daughter. Yet, instead of going to the hospital to treat her injuries, Mandy changed into a beautiful dress so that she could thank Joshua. Her reason was obvious to Hazel, and she turned her head away as they got closer.Fred and Mandy had blocked the gate to the driveway, there was no way for Joshua to get around them. When he slowed down so that he wouldn’t hit them, Fred walked over to Joshua’s window.“Thank you so much for saving Mandy, Joshua.” Fred all smiled. He said as he waved his hands, “Let’s go in...”Before he could finish the sentenc
James looked a bit uncomfortable when Hazel questioned him.“He’s undercover,” Joshua said bluntly.“My identity cannot be exposed.” James’s face changed instantly.“It doesn’t matter. You didn’t expose it, I found out after I investigated.”Joshua was very composed. “Hazel nor I would reveal your identity.”James still looked uncomfortable, but even if he continued to argue, it wouldn’t change anything.“The organization that Simon was in completely disbanded and withdrew from Country Z. However, they never gave up after they left. Especially in the last few years since Simon came into power. The
“Yes,” Joshua gently tucked her hair behind her ears, “Hazel, you will never know how much you mean to me.”She was relieved. Although, she could not tell whether it was Joshua’s heartfelt words or if he was just said it to soothe her since he was convinced that she was Denmark’s daughter. However, it still eased her worries to hear it.“I believe you.” She smiled.Joshua’s eyes were a little deeper. He sighed. “You, silly girl, you don’t completely believe me… But it doesn’t matter because time will tell.”***Hazel thought things would
“Ah?!” Hazel was taken aback. She wondered if she heard correctly, Katherine had really asked her to join the army. What she said next left Hazel with her head in the clouds and feeling like it was a dream.“You’re a good fit,” Katherine contemplated. “If I train you myself, you will be far more successful than I am. In the future, you will be the general everyone admires and respects.”“... Ah?” Hazel was still having trouble wrapping her head around what Katherine was saying. The praise made her heart beat faster, and she was having trouble breathing.All Hazel could think was how exciting it sounded and how much she wanted to say yes.Katherine looked at her with a smile, she had seen Hazel’s reaction and gue
